Ok, I just made a public repository for my HDHomeRun plugin for people that
want to try it out:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-hdhomerun-plugin/
this is not an official request for inclusion yet because the plugin does
not adhere to the standards (reasons explaimed in included README.txt)
But if any of the people responsible for deciding which plugins to include
would like to take a look at it and maybe tell me what I could do to get it
included, it would be most welcome :)
I do understand that this plugin will probably become useless the moment
XBMC will include a PVR, but until then...
And maybe I could help on the hdhomerun-code for any PVR development.
At least the library wrapper I wrote for the hdhomerun library might come in
handy.
(See this code
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-hdhomerun-plugin/source/browse/trunk/plugin.video.hdhomerun/test_hdhomerun.py
for
an example of detecting all devices on the network, displaying information
about them and starting a scan for channels on the first available device)
Cheers,
-Tako
